Except that today's decision that was referred to the 3rd Ump was pretty close and I am not sure why that was given not out .Eclipse said:Ponting plays murili very well i've noticed..
don't think he's ever been out to him in a test? apart from in this first innings..
Nah, they'll be looking to bat for as long as possible, even to the end of tomorrow. That gives Warne and MacGill two days to bowl them out on a 5 and 6 day old SCG pitchJASON said:I expect a declaration some time tomorrow morning or late in the 3rd session. That gives the World XI plenty of time to get themselves all out before the close of 4th days play.
The ball didn't straighten at all.. it looked like it would have continued on and probably just hit leg stump or missed my a little..JASON said:Except that today's decision that was referred to the 3rd Ump was pretty close and I am not sure why that was given not out .
Hawk Eye was not available or not shown , but looked pretty close having straightened after pitching !!
Ponting who had no idea that the ball had in fact straightened instead of holding its line and heading to leg , exchanged some harsh words with Taufel !!

And even the Hayden LBW that was referred and given not out by 3rd Ump -was shown by Hawk eye to be out .
mmmmmmmmmm think of how effective the spinners will beFaaipDeOiad said:I won't be comfortable with a lead under 400, personally. Still a good pitch, and the World XI aren't exactly a poor batting side.
aussie said:well i slept through the entire 1st session but now i'm seeing some really top class bowling from Murali, if R.O.W keep the aussies below a 400 lead this could be an interesting chase, but with the turn Murali is getting now Warne & MacGill will be licking their lips to have a bowl now.
